This is a very high-risk upgrade, spanning two major Rails versions (3.2 → 4.0 → 5.0). It requires significant code and configuration changes. The rspec-rails update is a minor patch with no breaking changes.

rails@3.2.13 → rails@5.0.0 (High Risk):
This upgrade introduces numerous breaking changes. Key migrations include the move from attr_accessible to Strong Parameters, the introduction of ApplicationRecord, and the replacement of rake commands with rails.

• Highlights:

  • Replace attr_accessible: Mass assignment protection is now handled by Strong Parameters in the controller, which is a mandatory change from Rails 4.0 onwards.
  • Update Models to Inherit from ApplicationRecord: In Rails 5.0, models inherit from ApplicationRecord instead of ActiveRecord::Base by default, allowing for a central place for application-specific model logic.
  • Use rails commands: Rake tasks for common actions like running tests or routes are now handled via bin/rails (e.g., bin/rails test, bin/rails routes).

• Source: Official Rails Guides

• Recommendation: A staged upgrade is highly recommended (3.2 → 4.0 → 4.1 → 4.2 → 5.0) to address deprecation warnings incrementally. Allocate significant time for dependency updates, testing, and code refactoring.

rspec-rails@2.13.0 → rspec-rails@2.13.1 (Low Risk):
This is a patch release containing only bug fixes and internal changes to align with rspec-core. No breaking API changes are cited.
